.... Wood steering wheel for my 96?
They pop up every once in a while but always seem to be the black or tan interior and never the light grey. The only light grey one I have ever seen was on eBay from Japan for $700!?
Is there a place in the US you guys have used to source these for less or is it just a matter of luck of the draw? Is there a cross over with any other Lexus cars, like an RX or something?

If you really want a wood grain wheel you might wanna check into something like this http://www.apsisusa.com/steering%20w...pplication.htm
I have no idea on the costs though.

I see them a couple of times/year in that color on ebay, (US ebay) but you have to be watching almost daily, in case it is a "Buy it Now"
also did you check car-part.com?

Sounds like they replace the leather and install the wood inserts, so you basically get a brand new wheel.

i too have been searching for a light grey wheel and am to a point of giving up. as you mentioned, all wheels i find are black or tan. the 98-00 wheels will fit a 95-97 but the extra controls will not be functional. air bag, cruise, horn, all work.
the OP wants a 98-00 wheels since those are the ones that have the wood trim.
The 95-97s are in the neighborhood of 500-600. Check the classifieds here. A member is bound to have something nice up for grabs. This one is $300 shipped but it's a 98-00 wheel.

The next best thing would be a junkyard find lol. Thanks for clarifying about the wheel fitting up and all.
